Firstly, thanks to all the devs working on the scopes - they've come a
long way and are getting really usable. Secondly, the search and display
of local scopes on a device needs work.
Currently I can swipe up from my phone to view all my scopes. The
favourites have their own area, and the rest of the scopes have theirs.
So far so good.
The issue comes with having lots of scopes installed - at the moment in
my favourites I have 15 scopes - all of which get used to varying
degrees. Aside from those, I have 42 other scopes installed. Searching
through these to find something NOT in my favourites is tedious.
There is nothing to differentiate between scope aggregators (parent
scopes) and scope sources (child scopes). This leads to a cluttered
view, with no information as to how I can find scopes that use other
scopes. I.e: with the default BQ images, there is the Today scope, with
the calls, messages, etc., all of which have their own scopes. At the
moment there's nothing to inform a user that the Calls and Messages
scopes get used by the Today scope, etc. This also happens with the Food
Aggregator Scope, default News Aggregator Scope, etc.
I know this area is under heavy development, and I look forward to
seeing the next iteration of work. I think a better workflow would be to
have 3 seperate areas, with different size icons to differentiate them -
i.e., the Favourites (up the top, or on a separate page), the Aggregator
Scopes (Large icons in the middle), and the Child/information Scopes
(smaller icons at the bottom).
Cheers,
Mitchell
